Rooted in Kumily. Exploring Kerala since 1999.
About Palliyadiyil Tourism
Your local travel team in Thekkady and Kumily, bringing together nature, culture and thoughtfully planned Kerala holidays.
Welcome to Palliyadiyil Tourism
A Local Travel Story from the Heart of Thekkady
Founded in 1999, Palliyadiyil Tourism has welcomed travellers to Thekkady and Kumily for over 25 years. From our base in Chelimada, we help visitors discover the landscapes, communities and traditions that make a Kerala holiday memorable.
Our journey began in the Western Ghats with a simple purpose: to help people experience Kerala beyond a list of places to visit. Today, we bring that same personal approach to Thekkady tour packages, nature outings, cultural experiences and travel arrangements.
Whether you are planning a family holiday, a coupleβs getaway or an adventure with friends, we take time to understand your dates, interests and budget. Our local team helps you choose experiences and build an itinerary at a pace that suits your group.

The purpose behind every trip
Nature, Culture & a Personal Connection
For us, a holiday is about the moments between destinations: discovering a spice garden, enjoying a cultural performance or taking time to appreciate the hills. We aim to make space for those moments while helping you organise the practical details.
Our connection with local communities and guides shapes the way we plan travel. We encourage guests to respect local customs, follow activity rules and care for the places they visit, so that enjoyment of Kerala goes hand in hand with consideration for its nature and people.
